Lady Gaga’s and Diane Warren’s “Till It Happens to You,”is a power ballad and an awakening about the sexual assault epidemic on college campuses. On Saturday night, Kesha performed the Oscar-nominated number at the Humane Society Gala in Los Angeles.

Prior to beginning the number, Kesha declared,“I want to dedicate this song to every man, woman, child and animal that has ever been abused.”

Unless you are living under a rock, you know the song is particularly poignant coming from Kesha. She had been embattled in a legal battle with Sony and producer Dr. Luke whom she accused of sexual assault and battery in 2014.

Watch to see the brave and emotional performance that is uniquely Kesha.

Jeff Buckley’s collection of unreleased studio recordings and covers, You and I, is coming out on March 11. Buckley’s cover of the Smiths’ “I Know It’s Over” appears on the album. Directed by Amanda Demme and executive produced by Amy Redford, the video details the relationship between a mother and her anxious young son.

Redford told Rolling Stone, “When I first heard Jeff, he gave me permission to feel fully and with contradiction. He inspired me to fight for authenticity, and to feel confidence in simplicity. To collaborate on these songs coming to life, and to see the community of people who Jeff touched, has been a privilege.”

You and I also includes Buckley’s versions of songs by Bob Dylan (“Just Like a Woman”), Sly & the Family Stone (“Everyday People”) Led Zeppelin (“Night Flight”) alongsie a pair of originals: “Grace” (presented here as the track’s first solo performance) and “Dream of You and I.” “I Know It’s Over” is one of two Smiths covers from The Queen Is Dead that will appear on You and I along with “The Boy With the Thorn in His Side.”

10. Louisa Wendorff and Devin Dawson, “Blank Space/Style”

This clever mashup of “Blank Space” and “Style” by Nashville-based musicians Louisa Wendorff and Devin Dawson turns Taylor’s hits into a moving he-said-she-said duet. The video went viral late last year, prompting Taylor herself todeclare that she was “OBSESSED” with the cover on Twitter.

9. Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks, “Blank Space”

Months before Ryan Adams boosted Taylor’s indie cred, the superstar got an arguably more impressive co-sign from Pitchfork fave Stephen Malkmus. The Pavement frontman performed a cover of “Blank Space” with his band Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks at a charity event in Portland, Oregon. While the song was apparently chosen by his daughter, Malkmus committed and the result is a dead-pan delight.

8. Charli XCX, “Shake It Off”

In February, during a visit to BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, Charli XCX and her all-girl band performed a speedy, stripped-down version of “Shake It Off” that transformed the glossy mega-hit into a manic pop-punk anthem.

7. Vance Joy, “I Know Places”

After Taylor invited Vance Joy to open for her 1989 World Tour, the Australian singer-songwriter uploaded a YouTube video of himself singing “I Know Places” to celebrate. Gentle and hushed, the cover replaces the original’s paranoia with a knowing kind of tenderness that brings the song’s romantic undertones to the forefront.

6. I Prevail, “Blank Space”

Pop and post-hardcore: how different are they really? If I Prevail’s “Blank Space” cover is any indication, not particularly! All howling, growling rage, the band taps into the original’s sublimated fury, highlighting all the anger and resentment bubbling under the surface. The result? Brilliantly weird.

5. Ingrid Michaelson, “Clean”

Last December, Ingrid Michaelson honored Taylor at Billboard’s Women In Music Event with a heart-wrenching piano cover of “Clean.” The singer-songwriter (and official #squad member) peeled back the song’s lush synths to reveal the fragile emotions at its core.

3. Kelly Clarkson, “Shake It Off”

If you’ve ever wondered what “Shake It Off” would sound like as a gospel song, Kelly Clarkson has got you covered. The pop star took her fans to church with a wailing cover of the empowerment anthem during a concert in Buffalo, New York last October.

2. Todrick Hall, “4 Taylor (Mashup)”

OK, before any of y’all complain: I know that “4 Taylor” includes snippets from all five of Taylor’s albums. There are hooks from Fearless, Speak Now, Red, and evenTaylor Swift sprinkled throughout the medley. The said, 1989 is obviously the focus and foundation of Todrick Hall’s epic mashup, which condenses the entire album’s narrative down to an impressively catchy four minutes.

1. Ryan Adams, “Shake It Off”

The highlight of Ryan Adams’ 1989 cover album is his depressed but defiant cover of “Shake It Off.” While he sounds genuinely tormented by the knowledge that the haters are just going to keep hating, he’s determined to shake it off.

At Kelly Clarkson’s concert Wednesday night, she surprised her fans with a cover song in honor of Demi Lovato’s 23rd birthday.

Teasing the song, Clarkson said, “It’s one of my girl’s birthdays tomorrow. And when I say my girl, I mean Demi Lovato. It’s Demi’s birthday tomorrow and she’s always been so supportive and so cool. To see a kid that used to go to my shows have this huge, lustrous career — she’s just killin’ it. I thought I would, for her birthday, sing her new single Cool For The Summer.”

Vance Joy is doing for Taylor Swift as Taylor Swift did for Vance Joy.

Swift gave the Australian singer-songwriter’s “Riptide” a piano-heavy cover on BBC1’s Live Lounge back in October, as she was preparing to release 1989. Now, Joy has covered Swift’s 1989 song “I Know Places,” giving that track the intimate treatment Swift gave “Riptide.” The accompanying video highlights Joy’s guitar work on the song, which, as it appears on the album, shows Swift going full pop.

The Swift-Joy mutual admiration society will continue, as he is joining Swift on her just-launched tour.
